The walkie-talkie and how it answers

The walkie-talkie has a talking top, four eyelids and two eyes with targets and a general look-at.

The walkie-talkie in R.E.P.O. is a carried set with a face of its own: a top it talks through, four eyelids and two eyes that follow what they are pointed at, a body on springs, a vocabulary of sounds for tuning in and being interrupted, and a record of who is on the other end.

In play

The walkie-talkie has a face. There is a transform for the top it talks through, four eyelids, two eyes with targets of their own and a general look-at, which is why the set can turn its eyes towards whoever is holding it instead of staying a dead box.

It has a body to match. There is an arm with a target, a neck, a speaker, a camera position and a set of visuals, and the arms are held in place by springs: one on the left, one on the right and one for the arm itself.

It knows whether anyone is on the other end. There is a record for this set, for someone being on it, for the sets in use and a second set to talk to, so a conversation is a pair of objects rather than a shout into the dark.

It has a whole vocabulary of sound for being used: tuning in and out, wiring in and out, movement for the eyes, the neck and the arm, an interference loop and a second one for being inside, a breaker for that interference, a zap, a ring tone, a calling sound and two different denial sounds.

It shows its state on itself. There are two lines with a texture that scrolls, spark and zap particles, a text area, a light that shows it is being used, and renderers kept apart for emission, colour and the eyes.

It is carried like the rest of the crew's equipment, with a light of its own and two materials, one for working and one for being out of order.

What this entry does not tell you: how far a set reaches, how many can be used at once, or how much its battery drains. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
